🔼 Sign Of A Leader. The National Football Foundation announced the semifinalists for the 2024 William V. Campbell Trophy, with Boise State sixth-year Alexander Teubner garnering inclusion on the list. The award recognizes an individual as the absolute best in the country for combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership. A team captain this season, Teubner has 14 total tackles, including nine solo and 1.5 TFLs. He has also forced a fumble and recovered a fumble, contributing to a Boise State defense that is tied for first in the nation in fumbles forced per game (2.33).

🔼 Broken Record. The Boise State women's golf team made history, registering a school-record score of 8-under par to tie for second at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic. Four Broncos matched or set a career-low for three rounds, led by Hannah Lim and Teal Matsueda, who tied for 10th at 2-under par. Brooke Patterson (-1) and Jillian Hui (E) recorded career-bests to finish in the top 20, while Emily Cadwell set a career-low in the final round, firing a 71 (-1).

🗣️ "I'm very proud of two great rounds this week and a strong finish in this field. It was a total team effort and breaking the program record will fuel our confidence going forward." - Kailin Downs, head coach

🔼 A Slate Is Set. Boise State women's basketball head coach Gordy Presnell announced the nonconference slate for the 2024-25 season. The Broncos open with five home games inside ExtraMile Arena. Boise State will host a total of eight home contests, with the remaining six at a neutral site. Following an exhibition game on Nov. 2 against Bushnell, the Broncos will open the regular season on Nov. 4 against Eastern Oregon, will host Colorado on Nov. 10 before rounding out the homestand against UC Riverside on Nov. 14 and College of Idaho on Nov. 18.

🔼 Mountains Are Calling. Sitting at 8-4 this season, Boise State volleyball will be on the road for the Mountain West opening weekend. Today, the Broncos will face Fresno State, and on Saturday, will take on San Jose State. The Blue and Orange are 7-6 in conference openers since joining the Mountain West and will take on a Bulldog team that the Broncos are 23-23 against all-time.

🔼 On The Road Again. Like the volleyball team, Boise State soccer will open up Mountain West play on the road against Fresno State. The Broncos enter the matchup at 7-2 on the season. As a team, Boise State ranks first in the conference in shots with 177. Forward Carly Cross currently ranks first individually in the conference in shots (39) and shots per game (4.33).
